Biography

Paul Dupree is a prominent figure in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge, specializing in plant cell wall synthesis and its implications for plant growth and development. His research focuses on understanding the biosynthesis and functionality of polysaccharide components in plant cell walls, crucial for the evolutionary adaptation of land plants. The Dupree Group investigates the complex assembly of these polymers and their interactions within cell walls, holding significant nutritional, agricultural, and industrial importance. Dupree's recent studies have delved into the roles of sugar nucleotide transporters and glycosyltransferases in the biosynthesis of key polysaccharides. The group's work aims to unravel the structures and functional properties of these components, particularly how they contribute to plant development and potential applications for achieving net-zero carbon futures.
